Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Geographers define regions as conceptual tools people use to break up the wide world into smaller, easier-to-think-about units based on a characteristic, or set of characteristics. This helps them to identify the area and places within a region’s boundaries. In fact, regions contain many places within them.
